Friends network
Jul 21, 2008 @ 12:17
I'm pretty close to some people from my Friends network, others, I saw them once many months ago and wouldn't recognize them in the street. Maybe time for a cleanup, but erasing somebody from my network seems a bit violent to me. It's like killing them symbolically or telling them: "I don't like you anymore".

JT... so you're saying you would otherwise have 573 people in your network had it not been for your spring cleaning?:blink:
as a general rule i do not to accept invites from people i've not met, but still do purge some pple who have left geneva and have not logged on for quite sometime, or people i met briefly and have not met/chatted/exchanged emails since then. it's nothing personal, but just keeps my list up to date with active folks in mind. if people want to find me, they can easily find me on the other network through friends of friends. :satisfied:

I feel I sort-of-know folks who actively participate in the forums, even though I have yet to meet quite a few of them. Their willingness to contribute ideas to a discussion or start topics of their own, or their willingness to provide helpful answers to the community members... these angel-like folks, I am okay adding them to my F-network. For example, I would not mind adding tinkie to my F-Network, or Free or Verbier or Jess and many others... even though I have yet to meet these folks.
I am also okay adding folks to F-Network who post far less, or just ask questions... that is, they do participate occasionally. I would ignore someone's F-Network request only if I have never met him or her or something that is internet equivalent (for example, they have zero posts in the forums etc).
The F-Network for me is really a list of convenience: message or fwd something from glocals, send an invite to an event, such initiatives of convenience and nothing more. Yes, things do advance past being on the list of convenience. For such things, we end up exchanging email address etc.
I normally do not delete folks from my lists of convenience. Exception would be when they continue sending me lots of junk mail and I have already urged them to stop (or clean up their computer for virus or some thingy).

Thanks mates.
I think that I will do a cleanup one of these days, but nothing as radical as JulianT, else my network would go down to... minus 46!
